Title: Method of measuring bone resorption rate
Inventor: HALLEEN JUSSI
IPC: G01N33/577
Filed: 1999-03-30
Abstract: Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) has been used as a marker from bone resorption. However, there are two forms of said enzyme in the body: TRAP 5a and TRAP 5b, of which TRAP 5b is a much more specific marker. The present invention is directed to an immunoassay for measuring the bone resorption rate, which methods enables the specific determination of TRAP 5b, whereby the amount of TRAP 5b reflects the bone resorption rate. The method is useful in diagnosing disorders associated with a change in the bone resorption rate, such as osteoporosis. Methods of screening for susceptibility to such disorders, and method of monitoring the effect of treatment are also provided. Further a test-kit useful in said methods is provided.

Title: Power reduction algorithm for ethernet transceiver
Inventor: FOSTER JAY ARNOLD
IPC: G06F1/32
Filed: 1999-04-20
Abstract: A method and apparatus for reducing power consumption of an auto-negotiating ethernet transceiver by enabling a driver for the transceiver to alternate between a typical higher-power energy consumption mode to a lower-power energy consumption mode when a network link is no longer detected by the transceiver. A new algorithm is included within the driver which is activated by the driver detecting the absence of the network link. The driver causes the portable computer to send instructions to the ethernet transceiver so that the transceiver continues to check for the network link. If the network link is not detected, the driver causes the ethernet transceiver to power down into a lower power consumption mode for a specific period of time. After the period of time has elapsed, the driver causes the ethernet transceiver to enter a normal higher power consumption mode during which the ethernet transceiver again checks for the network link. This process repeats itself until the portable computer is shut down or the network link is reestablished.

Title: Induction furnace with discardable lining
Inventor: MEREDITH JEFFREY FRANCIS
IPC: H05B6/24
Filed: 1985-04-03
Abstract: An induction furnace has an inner discardable lining (7, 8) formed from one or more preformed shapes of refractory, heat-insulating material.

Title: Manufacture of s.g. iron
Inventor: DUNKS CLIFFORD MATTHEW
IPC: B22D1/00
Filed: 1979-05-29
Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for the treatment of molten metal with a reactive additive.The apparatus comprises (1, 2) a pouring cup (4) having an outlet for introduction of both reactive additive and molten metal into a reaction chamber (7).

Title: Low profile and low force actuation pump
Inventor: VANBROCKLIN OWEN V
IPC: G01F11/28
Filed: 1999-06-14
Abstract: A smooth actuating, non-throttling dispensing pump with a low force to actuate is provided. The pump will dispense a fluid at a pressure and flow velocity sufficient to allow the fluid to exit through the actuator in a fine particle spray. This action occurs when the actuator, depressed by the finger, moves a displacement piston downward pressurizing the fluid in the fluid chamber. When a predetermined pressure is reached, seals between the piston and stem open permitting the pressurized fluid to exit the fluid chamber through the actuator. The relationship of the frictional and spring forces plus the pressure acting on the piston and stem determines when and how the fluid is dispensed.
